PIANOS
Are the ONLY Pianos manufactured on the improved and
now celebrated Screw-Stringer system, invented and
patented by the Mason & Hamlin Co. in 1883. This in-
vention is the greatest improvement in Pianos in twenty-
five years, and owing to it the Piano is but slightly
affected by trying atmospheric conditions, and does not
require one -quarter as much tuning as Pianos
generally.
In all respects these Pianos illustrate the same
HIGHEST STA NDAR D OF EX C ELLENCE
which has always characterized the Mason & Hamlin
Organs, and won for them HIGHEST AWARDS at all
Great World's Fairs since that of Paris, 1867.
No one contemplating the purchase of a Piano should
fail to examine these instruments.

Gentlemen: The Waverley Scorcher

are afraid you have sent us the high-
priced wheel by mistake. You can't
mean to tell us that this wheel retails
for $85 ? We must say that it is, with-
out exception, the prettiest wheel we
have ever seen, and, moreover, we have
faith in it, although it weighs only 22
lbs., for of all Waverleys we have sold
this year and last (and you know that is
a right good number) , we have never had
a single frame nor fork broken, either
from accident or defect, and that is more
than we can say of any other wheel, how-
ever high grade, so called, that we sell.
We congratulate ourselves every day
that we are the Waverley agents.
Yours truly,

you want to spend the most money

price makes the wheel ? If the
former, buy a Waverley.

PREFACE.
The publishers of this hook are fully aware that it was long since written
"Of the making of many books, there is no end ; " yet we do not believe that the
Scripture worthy desired to imply that of the making of useful books there
should be an end. This volume is prepared in answer to the repeated query,
"Who is the Town Clerk in the Town of . ..." or a desire to know the names
of the Chairmen of the various Boards of Selectmen throughout the Common-
wealth or some other item of town and city knowledge. Hitherto no such in-
formation could be obtained in any single volume. The heads of librarians and
others were racked to answer, yet in many cases, the only way was to write to
the Postmaster or to address the official, as such, letting his cognomen remain in
the No Name series. To compile this volume the reports of the State, cities and
towns have been consulted, aggregating many hundred pamphlets and books, not
to mention the thousands of letters and postal cards that have been sent in the
pursuit of information. No matter how apparently insignificant the fact desired,
it has been run down that we might have it right here, until within the covers
of one volume we have gathered more information concerning the Massachusetts
of to-day than was ever thus collected and collated before. The matter, thus
brought together, goes sufficiently beyond any book of similar character to make
for itself a special place. We have not sought to prepare a volume descriptive
of the State of yesterday, but emphatically of this year of Grace, 1895. Though
in each succeeding volume we shall aim to have one introductory bit of lore not
to be found elsewhere, such as the History of the Electoral College of this Com-
monwealth, found in this number, and which is owed to the kindness of State
Librarian, C. B. Tillinghast.
There must be No. 1 of all things, good or bad. We hope this may prove the
first of a long series of books which, as the years go by, will tell the story of
Massachusetts to all who care to know. Naturally, as a beginning, it is exper-
imental. The question constantly has been, not what shall we put in, but what
can we leave out. Again, in reducing the compass of State reports, we have
sought brevity, possibly at the expense of desired detail. To what extent we
have erred in this respect we shall never know unless patrons inform us. The
state publishes thousands of pages which may or may not be read by any besides
the experts or those particularly interested in the matter under consideration.
For the sake of the general reader we have boiled whole volumes down to the
least possible space, knowing that those who desire greater detail can get the
4 MASSACHUSETTS YEAR BOOK.
reports themselves at the State House. The data that we have collated concern-
ing the banks of the Commonwealth were never thus gotten together before.
Not even the directories of cities have given what we here present. The annual
town reports are not so full of detail concerning the very towns themselves as is
this volume now in your hands. What possible fact about any city or town in
Massachusetts is not found here ? Please ask yourself this question and seek
an answer here.
Nothing is perfect. You will find errors, but as you read and find matters
not to your liking, please make a note and inform the publishers. Again, if we
have left out what you think ought to be here let us know that also. If we
have printed what you think could with profit be omitted, be kind enough to
acquaint us.
In conclusion, this book could never have been prepared without the kindest
consideration of hundreds of people who have been consulted many times and oft.
The almost uniform courtesy with which our inquiries have been treated is a
glorious tribute to the brotherhood of man. Our thanks, hereby extended, are
due to hundreds of Town and City Clerks, to many Postmasters who, whether
Republican or Democrat, seem to be veritable Jobs in patience, to the scores of
Bank officials who have cheerfully responded with data, and in fine, to every
one who has written a letter or stated upon a postal what we desired to know.
By name we would like to thank Secretary of State Wm. F. Olin, Sergeant-
at-Arms J. G. B. Adams, Clerks E. A. McLaughlin and H. T. Coolidge of the
House and Senate, respectively, and their exceedingly obliging assistants for
courtesies and facilites, also to State Librarian Tillinghast for the use of the
store of information at his command, and for valuable suggestions. Nor should
we forget the heads of other departments, at the State House, and their affable
clerks, for information given.
This volume goes forth to the more than two million dwellers in this Com-
monwealth with the hope that it may serve as a labor saver in the work that
they have to do and in doing which there has come to this state her reputation
for thrift and Yankee ingenuity. If it answers this purpose, to a large extent,
the design of the publishers will have been carried out.
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
A COMPLETE LIST AND RECORD OF THE PRESIDENTIAL. ELECTORS
OF MASSACHUSETTS AND THEIR ACTION.
Prepared by C. B. tillinghast, State Librarian.
In view of the fact that no record has been preserved at the State House of the
meetings of the Electoral Colleges of Massachusetts for the first ten elections of
President, the following complete list of the Electors and statement of the
various methods by which they were chosen, and their organization and action,
may prove of interest, and possess a positive value as a contribution to the
political history of the Commonwealth. There have been twenty- seven elections
of President, and it will be seen that at fifteen of them the vote of Massachusetts
is recorded in favor of the successful candidate. At the remaining twelve elec-
tions it was recorded as follows: 1800, John Adams; 1808, Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney; 1812, De Witt Clinton; 1816, Rufus King; 1828, John Quincy Adams;
1832, Henry Clay ; 1836, Daniel Webster; 1840, Henry Clay; 1852, Winfield Scott;
1856, John C. Fremont; 1884, James G. Blaine; 1892, Benjamin Harrison.
The Federal Constitution provided that the " ratification of the conventions of
nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between
the States so ratifying the same." Massachusetts was the sixth in order, the
date of its ratification being Feb. 6, 1788, and New Hampshire was the ninth, the
date being June 21, 1788. It may be said in passing, that Rhode Island and North
Carolina not having, at the date of the first election for President, ratified the
Constitution, did not vote, and New York lost its vote because the Legislature
could not agree upon any plan for the choice of Electors.
The Congress of the Confederation passed a resolution Sept. 13, 1788, directing
that the choice of Electors of President and Vice-President should take place on
the first Wednesday of January, 1789, and under this resolution the election of
the first President took place. Under the Constitution the method of choosing
the Electors was left to the determination of the Legislatures of the several
States, and it will be seen that in Massachusetts, as in several of the other
States, it was several years before there was any settled method.
1789.— The first Electors from Massachusetts were chosen under a legislative
resolve of Nov. 19, 1788, " For organizing the Federal Government." This divided
the State into eight districts for the choice of Representatives in Congress and
Presidential Electors. Two candidates were chosen by the people in each dis-
trict, and from these the General Court by joint ballot in convention selected
one. Two additional Electors were chosen by the Legislature from the people at
large. The candidates were chosen by the people Dec. 18, 1788, and the choice
was made by the Legislature Jan. 7, 1789.
The Electors, with their residence and the counties composing their several
districts, were as follows :
William Cushing of Scituate, at large.
William Shepard of Westfield, at large.

Samuel Phillips of Andover, Essex.
Francis Dana of Cambridge, Middlesex.
Samuel Henshaw of Northampton, Hampshire and Berkshire.
William Sever of Kingston, Plymouth and Barnstable.
Moses Gill of Princeton, Worcester.
Walter Spooner of New Bedford, Bristol, Dukes and Nantucket.
David Sewall of York, Me., York, Cumberland and Lincoln.
The Electoral College met at the Old State House, Feb. 4, 1789, and William
Sever was chosen to preside. Its vote was cast unanimously for George Wash-
ington of Virginia and John Adams of Massachusetts. The Electors did not
designate the persons voted for as President and Vice-President until after the
adoption of the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
in 1804.
1702.— The Electors for the second Presidential election were chosen under
a Legislative resolve of June 30, 1792, which divided the State into four districts,
the first comprising Suffolk, Essex and Middlesex counties, to be entitled to five
Electors; the second comprising Hampshire, Berkshire and Worcester counties,
and entitled to five Electors; the third to include Plymouth, Bristol, Barnstable,
Dukes and Nantucket, and to have three Electors, and the Fourth District to be
composed of the Maine counties and to be entitled to three Electors. It will be
noticed that no Electors were chosen at large by this plan. The Electors were
chosen by the people at an election held Nov. 2, 1792, and in cases where there was
no choice by the people the vacancies were filled by joint ballot of the Legisla-
ture, Nov. 14, 1792. A session of the General Court to fill these vacancies was
held at Concord, for the reason that the small-pox was at that time prevalent in
Boston.
Bradford, in his History of Massachusetts, volume 3, page 36, states that it was
generally admitted at this time that while the Legislature was given the consti-
tutional right to prescribe the mode in which the Electors should be chosen, the
choice was to be made by the people themselves. It was deemed advisable to
divide the State into districts for the purpose in order that the people might be
better acquainted with the persons for whom they were to vote. For several
succeeding elections, as will be seen, the method of choosing the Electors varied.
Sometimes they were chosen by districts, sometimes by a general ticket, some-
times the Legislature decided to make the choice itself. The political com-
plexion of the times had its influence in determining the methods followed.
At the session of Congress preceding this election a general law was passed
governing the method of procedure of the Electoral Colleges, one provision of
which was that the Executive authority of each State shall certify to three lists
of the Electors. Governor Hancock was very jealous of any infringement by the
General Government upon his prerogative as Governor, and he sent a message
to the Legislature to the effect that while he was willing to perform the duty, he
considered the mandatory requirement an improper one for the General Gov-
ernment to make upon the Supreme Executive of an independent State. The
following is the list of the Electoral College as finally constituted, those marked
by stars having been chosen by the Legislature in cases where the people failed
to elect:
Azor Orne of Marblehead, First District.
Francis Dana of Cambridge, First District.
Increase Sumner of Roxbury. First District.

*Thompson Joseph Skinner of Williamstown, Second District.
*Dwight Foster of Brookfield, Second District.
*Ebenezer Mattoon, Jr., of Amherst, Second District.

William Sever of Kingston, Third District.
*Solomon Freeman of Harwich, Third District.
*Peleg Wadsworth of Portland, Me., Fourth District.
*Daniel Cony of Hollowell, Me., Fourth District.
*Nathaniel Wells of Wells, Me., Fourth District.
The Electoral College met at the Old State House, Wednesday, December 5,
1792. William Sever presided, and the Electors cast their ballots unanimously
for George Washington of Virginia and John Adams of Massachusetts. Major
John Tyler was appointed messenger to carry the votes to Philadelphia, then
the seat of the National Government.
1796.— By an act of June 26, 1794, the State was divided into fourteen districts
for the election of Representatives to Congress, and by a resolve of June 13, 1796,
the people were to choose one Presidential Elector from each district and the
Legislature was to choose two at large, as well as to fill all deficiencies caused
by the failure of the people to elect. The November session of the Legislature
in this year, by a resolve dated Nov. 23, 1796, gave the Electors power to fill any
vacancies in their body. The measure was signed by Samuel Adams, then Gov-
ernor, but he subsequently sent two messages to the Legislature requesting the
privilege of annulling his approval and erasing his signature, on the ground that,
in his opinion, it would establish a dangerous precedent, and that it was the
spirit and intent of the Constitution that the vacancies should be filled by the
Legislature. The Legislature, however, refused to allow him to withdraw his
signature, and the proviso that was obnoxious to Governor Adams survives in
the Public Statutes to this day.
The Electors chosen were as follows:
*Edward Hutchinson Robbins of Milton, at large.
*Increase Sumner of Roxbury, at large.
*David Rosseter of Richmond, First Western District.
*Ebenezer Hunt of Northampton, Second Western District.
Ebenezer Mattoon of Amherst, Third Western District.
Joseph Allen of Worcester, Fourth Western District.

*William Sever of Kingston, Second Southern District.

The Electoral College met at the Old State House, Wednesday, Dec. 7, 1796,
and the ballot for President resulted as follows : John Adams of Massachusetts
sixteen, Thomas Pinckney of South Carolina thirteen, Samuel Johnson of North
8 MASSACHUSETTS YEAR BOOK.
Carolina two, and Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut one. Hon. Alexander Camp-
bell of Steuben, Me., was chosen Messenger to carry the vote to Philadelphia.
jNOO.— The Electors in 1800 were chosen by the Legislature under a resolve of
June 6, 1800. which provided that there should be one for each Congressional
District and two at large. The Electors were empowered to fill vacancies in their
own number by a resolve of Nov. 15, 1800. The following Electors were chosen
Nov. 13, 1800:
Samuel Phillips of Andover, at large.
Edward Hutchinson Robbins of Milton, at large.
David Rosseter of Richmond, First Western District.

This method of the choice of the Electors by the Legislature proved an un-
popular one, and there were loud complaints against it. It was adopted to
secure the undivided vote of the State for Mr. Adams, as a majority of the
Legislature was known to be in his favor. If the people had voted by districts
several of the Electoral votes would probably have been given to Mr. Jefferson.
The Electoral College met December 3, 1800, in the Senate Chamber of the
present State House, all of its predecessors having met in the Old State House.
The vote was cast unanimously for John Adams of Massachusetts and Charles
Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina.
2#04.— In 1804 the Electors were chosen by the people, under a resolve of June
15, 1804, the entire number upon one ticket. This was the first choice of the
Electors upon a general ticket. This plan was supposed to have been adopted
instead of the choice by separate districts, to favor the interests of Mr. Adams,
but those who proposed the plan were much surprised and disappointed at the
result. It was a time of great political excitement, and there seems to have been
considerable independent voting, as the Jefferson ticket was chosen. The result
would probably have been different if the district system had prevailed.
The Electoral College was composed as follows:
James Sullivan of Boston, at large.
Elbridge Gerry of Marblehead, at large.
James Bowdoin of Boston, Suffolk District.
John Hathorne of Salem, Essex South District.
Thomas Kittredge of Andover, Essex North District.
James Winthrop of Cambridge, Middlesex District.
John Whiting of Lancaster. Worcester North District.
Timothy Newell of Sturbridge, Worcester South District.
Jonathan Smith, Jr., of West Springfield, Hampshire South District.
Edward Upham of New Salem. Hampshire North District.

The Electoral College met Wednesday, December 5, 1804, and cast its unani-
mous vote for Thomas Jefferson of Virginia for President and George Clinton of
New York for Vice-President. Mr. Kittredge of Newburyport was chosen Mes-
senger to carry the vote to Washington.
1808.— The choice of Electors in 1808 is one of the most interesting in our
history. The Jeffersonian ticket, with Gov. Sullivan at its head, had swept the
State by popular vote in 1804. Both branches of the Legislature were now with
a Federal majority. At the June session the Legislature neglected to adopt any
plan for the choice of Electors. Before proroguing the Legislature, Gov. Sulli-
van sent in a long message urging the adoption of some plan, and stating his
strong opposition to the choice by the Legislature which the postponement
evidently contemplated. At the opening of the November session he again
stated in his message his opposition to a choice by the Legislature, and strongly
urged an election by the people, but the Legislature decided by a joint order to
proceed to the choice themselves. This method removed any opportunity for
the Governor to veto the plan, as it did not go to him for approval. After the
choice had been made a protest signed by several members was spread upon the
journals. A memorial was sent to Congress charging informality in the ap-
pointment, on the ground that the choice had not been laid before the Governor
and that his certificate did not accompany the return. No action was however
taken and the matter dropped. The college was composed as follows:
Caleb Strong of Northampton, at large.
Francis Dana of Cambridge, at large.
John Brooks of Medford, Suffolk District.
Moses Brown of Beverly, Essex South District.
William Bartlett of Newburyport, Essex North District.
Ebenezer Bridge of Chelmsford, Middlesex District.

They were chosen Nov. 14, 1808. The College met Tuesday, Dec. 6, and Wed-
nesday, Dec. 7, its unanimous vote was cast for Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of
South Carolina for President and Rufus King of New York for Vice-President.

WEATHER BUREAU.
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE— STATE WEATHER SERVICE.
Office, Post Office Building, Boston.
As a supplement to the work of the National Weather Bureau nearly all the
States and Territories now have voluntary weather services, which serve as
means for collecting and distributing valuable information. The six New Eng-
land States are all under one management called the New England Weather Ser-
vice. Its headquarters are at Boston with Mr. J. Warren Smith, Weather Bu-
reau Director.
Monthly reports of temperature, precipitation, etc., are collected from about
90 voluntary observers in this State as per table below. The data are printed in
the Monthly Weather Review published at Washington.
Weekly reports on the weather and its effect on the crops and the condition of
the latter are collected on Mondays during the crop season from some fifty rep-
resentative sections of the State, summarized, and issued in connection with re-
ports from the rest of New England in printed form on Tuesdays. Twenty-five
hundred copies are regularly distributed in Massachusetts through the coopera-
tion of the State Board of Agriculture.
Regular forecasts of the weather and special frost, cold wave and storm warn-
ings are telegraphed to a large number of places in the State at Government
expense, and any place will be added to this list where action will be taken to
have signal flags displayed for the benefit of the public. Special distribution of
these forecasts in agricultural communities is made by telegraphing the message
to some central point to a person furnished with logotypes and stamping outfit,
who immediately reproduces the forecasts and sends by mail to all surrounding
post offices that can be reached before night. The cards give the forecast of the
probable weather for all the following day. At present Northampton is the only
distributing centre in this State, the Postmaster there kindly making the distri-
bution voluntarily. The system will, undoubtedly, soon be extended over the
entire State.
